The purpose of this study is to examine the carry trade strategy through two different approaches, the interest rate differentials and the forward contracts. For the period of the last fourteen years, six different currency pairs have been used in each approach, which are common to both approaches. The goal is to see if they make profit or loss and to choose the most profitable approach by comparing their returns via Sharpe ratio. The theoretical part refers to the basic meanings, that help to understand the issue, the interest rate parity which is the basis of the strategy and its consequences. The empirical part analyzes the process in which we find the profit or loss for each approach and for each currency pair on a monthly basis and explains the reasons for profit or loss in 2008 and 2020 due to the financial crisis and the pandemic of covid-19 respectively.
